The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are hoary greyish, with an obliquely placed streak of raised blackish scales at about one-fourth the wing-length, running from the upper edge of the cell to about the middle of the fold. There is a blackish dot at the end of the cell and a slight sprinkling of brownish scales at about the middle of the dorsum and in the direction of the apex there is a strong shade of the same colour, accompanied with greyish fuscous, occupying the costa from above the black streak to the apex. The hindwings are shining whitish cinereous.[3]
